President Donald Trump falsely declared Monday morning that he has the authority to force states to allow businesses to reopen in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.
States Rights?
People vs. Mammon, he goes with Mammon.
The modern GOP.
Please proceed, Fat Nixon!
Maybe he should read the USC again…
Besides, Trump said he was just a BACKUP president…
And those 70 days of lying, denying, delaying, disinformation, bragging of TV ratings/FB Followers, golfing…profiteering…
NO, he does NOT have the power nor the moral authority to “re-open America”!
Meanwhile…ICYMI
The court also will hear arguments by teleconference in a case over the complex U.S. presidential election system focusing on whether Electoral College electors are free to break their pledges to back the candidate who wins their state’s popular vote.
What happens when Trump orders folks back to work and sane American’s who would rather stay broke than die just stay home?
The last time there was a big disagreement about State vs. Federal authority things went swimmingly well.
Then it’ll be just like the forced integration of schools… Only this time it’ll be the National Guard escorting unwilling shoppers into malls and forcing them to buy things and stand close together.
But Donnie, wasn’t it you who just last week was so concerned about states’ rights and the Constitution that you couldn’t order nationwide control measures? But now you say you can order states to risk their populations’ lives by forcing them to re-open?
Oh, here we go. Somebody gag and put this guy in a closet.
My bet is that the SCOTUS will rule that the electors can vote for whomever they want.
Trump will just have to shoot uncooperative Governors. He can do that. The OLC says so.
If it goes as well this time the GOP can officially change its identification from the Party of Lincoln to the Party of Trump.
No problem, he’ll just use The Force!
Perhaps he meant The Schwartz?
This is really the worst possible time to have a narcissistic ignoramus as the president of the United States. The guy is literally costing lives.
Trump Claims He Has The Power To Force States To Reopen. He Doesn’t.
No shit. He also does not have the power to cancel elections, despite what some chicken littles say.
States’ rights are for suckers when you have a GOP Prexy…
But, but, I don’t want to buy anything from those stinking malls.
If any of us thought the disappearance of brick and mortars was a thing, this virus is going to really do a number on them.
“So let it be written; so let it be done.”
Screw this con. He’s no Rameses.
He has the power to be a huge pain in the ass when the country does not need it.
